I will say one thing, that's how you know trump definitely has dementia. Higher ups in the GOP don't give a shit as long as they have a puppet to be the mouthpiece and they can stay in power as long as possible.

Can we get all the scientists walking out on the CDC to make a new organization - something like Center for Evidence-based Disease Control & Prevention (CEDC)? Blue states could just ignore the CDC and adopt recommendations from the CEDC. #CDC #RFKkills

Reporter: Yesterday you said you weren't sure who ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine—have you since been able to figure that out?

Trump: I have not thought about it.

Reporter: What does it say that such a big decision could be made inside your government without you knowing?

I think Asha's analysis is correct. In the Watergate case, Judge Sirica, presented with evidence of misconduct involving DOJ personnel, directed a special investigation conducted by a former prosecutor he appointed for that purpose.
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Reminder: Afghan interpreters helped US troops, some were executed. For their invaluable services, they were given Special Immigrant Visas and invited to live in the USA. Now Trump’s DHS is threatening to deport them. Does the USA keep our promises anymore?

The russian 🇷🇺 invasion of Ukraine was not about ethnic minorities, not about Maidan, not about NATO.

russia is on an imperial conquest and here is Putin just recently debunking all arguments of the #BSW far left appeacniks and Tankies.

Covered countless press conferences in 20+ yrs in journalism. I've seen critics, including elected officials, show up to question/confront speakers. I've never seen anything like this in response.
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

The head of U.S. Homeland Security is now describing the forces being deployed to Los Angeles, California as being there to "liberate" the city and state from its elected leaders.

Then a U.S. Senator for California is physically shoved out the door of the press conference.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately."

I love how, despite Trump trying to "poke the bear" by sending National Guard and Marines, there is literally nothing but a peaceful protest going on in LA.

Isn’t the fact that Felon 47 is deploying the National Guard in L.A. proof that he had the power on January 6th; not Nancy Pelosi? Funny how that authority only matters when it suits him.
